Our Treatment Methods
Dr. Rema Malik, a trusted varicose vein specialist in Houston, selects the optimal treatment for your specific vein pattern and severity — often with zero incisions, local anesthesia, and same-day recovery.
Targeted laser energy passes through the skin to heat and collapse spider veins — no needles, no injections. The most precise cosmetic vein treatment available for facial and leg spider veins.
No needles or injections
Walk out same day
Face & leg spider veins
Uses radiofrequency energy (not laser) to gently heat and seal the vein wall. Slightly less post-procedure discomfort — ideal for patients sensitive to bruising.
Outpatient · ultrasound-guided
Resume normal activity next day
High patient comfort rating
Varithena is an FDA-approved injectable microfoam that fills and collapses diseased veins from the inside. Ideal for crooked, difficult-to-reach varicose veins and great saphenous vein incompetence.
FDA-approved injectable foam
Resume activity same day
Tiny stab incisions remove bulging surface veins directly. Often combined with RFA for complete correction.
A sclerosant solution is injected directly into smaller varicose and spider veins, causing them to collapse and fade. Often combined with ClearV Laser for complete spider vein clearance.
All treatments include a personalized compression protocol and follow-up ultrasound to confirm full vein closure.
Understanding Your Condition
Varicose veins form when faulty valves let blood pool instead of flowing back to the heart. More than cosmetic — left untreated, they progress to venous insufficiency, leg ulcers, and blood clots.
Patient Satisfaction Rate
(RFA Procedures)
Valves open and close properly, pushing blood toward the heart with no pooling.
Weakened valves fail to close, allowing blood to flow backward and pool.
Pooled blood stretches the wall, creating bulging, twisted cords visible beneath skin.
Understanding Your Condition

Family history
Long periods standing or sitting
Pregnancy
Obesity or excess weight
Free vein screening with diagnostic ultrasound. No referral needed. Same-week availability.
Conditions We Treat
Varicose veins are a progressive condition. The earlier you treat them, the simpler and faster the recovery.
Persistent aching, throbbing or a “heavy” feeling — especially after prolonged standing or at the end of the day.
Edema caused by chronic venous insufficiency, where blood pools in the lower legs due to faulty valves.
Darkening of the skin, eczema, or venous leg ulcers — signs of advanced chronic venous disease.
Small, visible red or blue veins just beneath the skin surface — cosmetically bothersome and treatable with sclerotherapy.
Venous insufficiency is a common and underdiagnosed cause of nighttime leg cramps and restless leg syndrome.

Yes — when varicose veins cause symptoms (pain, swelling, skin changes), treatment is usually covered as medically necessary by major insurers including Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, UHC, and Medicare. Our team handles all prior authorizations and billing on your behalf.
Treated veins do not return — once a vein is ablated or sclerosed, it is permanently sealed. However, untreated veins elsewhere can develop over time. Dr. Malik performs follow-up ultrasound to confirm closure and monitors for new vein formation.
Spider veins treated with ClearV Laser typically fade within 2–6 weeks. Varithena results for larger varicose veins become visible as the treated vein is gradually absorbed by the body over 4–8 weeks. Most patients require 1–3 sessions depending on the extent of the veins being treated.
The right treatment depends on the size, depth, and location of your veins — determined by a Doppler ultrasound evaluation. Larger saphenous veins typically respond best to RFA; crooked or hard-to-reach varicose veins are ideal for Varithena foam; spider veins on the legs or face are best treated with ClearV Laser. Dr. Malik personalizes every treatment plan.
Most RFA procedures take between 45 and 90 minutes from start to finish. Varithena treatments are even faster — typically 15–20 minutes. You'll be awake, comfortable, and able to walk out of the clinic on your own. No general anesthesia or hospital stay is required.
No referral is required. You can call us directly at (832) 400-2763 or use the booking form on this page and we'll see you as quickly as possible — often within the same week.
Most patients return to light daily activities the same day. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 1–2 weeks and wearing compression stockings for 2 weeks post-procedure. Dr. Malik will provide detailed aftercare instructions at your appointment.
Most patients describe minimal discomfort — similar to a slight pinching or pressure. Local anesthesia is used for RFA so the procedure itself is painless. Varithena requires only a single small injection. ClearV Laser for spider veins requires no needles at all. Post-procedure soreness is mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers for 1–2 days.
Same-week appointments available. No referral needed. Most insurance accepted. Dr. Rema Malik and her team are ready to help you feel like yourself again.
